habs tari hai musalsal kaisa
ab ke barsa hai ye baadal kaisa

jis se ehsas ki sadiyan guzrin
tha judai ka wo ek pal kaisa

le ke nazrana-e-jaan kaun aaya
jashn sa hai sar-e-maqtal kaisa

teri tausif se khali ho agar
lafz ho jata hai mohmal kaisa

wahi din raat mohabbat ka junun
dil bhi kam-bakht hai pagal kaisa

us ne to lab abhi khole bhi nahin
shor-e-naghma hai musalsal kaisa

un ke aane ki khabar se 'shair'
dil hua jata hai bojhal kaisa
